Big box crashing with background music

[mjkilljoy]

So far my experience with Bigbox is amazing but the only thing not working is the background music. Placing music into Launchbox/music/background and launching it will start it up but then crash it as soon as it tries to load the music. Having the folder empty and then placing the music file in after it's already launched plays the song fine but if you enter and exit a game, no music will play and of course closing and launching will crash it now music is being trying to be loaded.

Any idea what I can do to change/fix this? I tried a few songs and also tried only having one song to load but nothing seems to stop the crash. Music isn't a BIG deal but it's a shame not to have it when the option is there and I have such a nice retro album to use.

Thanks!

Are you on 13.23 or 13.24 beta 1?

If you are on 13.23, could you update to 13.24 beta 1 and see if it helps at all?

You can do this in LaunchBox, under Tools > Options > General > Updates and make sure that beta updates are turned on.

Then back in LaunchBox under Menu > Help > Check for Updates

Music tied to games with the soundtrack folder is crashing for me too, on build 13.24-beta-1

Strange. At first it worked and the second try it even worked. So then I happily went and added Dream cast and now it won't work with the background music again and just crashes on start up each time (without the music it's fine)

Shoot...technology is a strange one
